Mr.. Saunders, now clerk ut the exc

of his appointment, clerk to congres.
sional committee. AT any rate, the
comptroller proposes to test the case
again, and Postmaster Mowry VIII
carry his case to the courts. He may
have the law on his side, but he certain
ly is very avaricious to want two offices
at the same time, specially when there
are SO many would be office holders
outside in the cold, who would rejoice
in the possession of one. Ordinarily
the decisions of the supreme court OF
the United States, are final and estab-
lish the law of precedence for all like
cases, but there is no telling what a
head of bureau under the govern
ment will not dare do, especially If he
be new appointment.

Wages IN 1900.

The condition of the wage class of
that day may be well examined; it is
full of instruction for social agitators.
In the great cities nnkilled workmen
were hired by the day, bought their
own food, and found their own lodg-
ings. But in the country, on the farms
or wherever a hand was employed on
some public work, they were fed and
lodged by the employer and given a
few dollars Il month. On the Pennsyl-
vania canals the diggers ate the coars-
est diet, were housed in the rudest
sheds, and paid SUa month from May
to Noyembnr, and So " nenth from
November to May. lIod carriers and
mortar mixers, diggers and choppers,
who, from 1893 to 1900, labored on the
public buildings and cut the streets
and avenues of Washington City, re-
ceived $40 Il year, or if they wished $50
for all the work. they could perform
from March to December 20. The
hours Of work were invariably from
sunrise to sunset. Wages at Albany
and New York were 3 shillings, or, as
money then went, 40 cents day, at
Lancaster, SS to $40 month; else
where in Pennsylvania workmen We're
content with ST in summer and So in
winter. AT Baltimore men were glad
to be hired ut Is pence a day. None
by the month. asked more than Sc. At
Fred cricksburg the price of labor was
from So TO ST. In Virginia white men
employed by the year were given le
pounds currency; slaves, when hired,
were clothed and their masters paid
AMd u month. A pound Virginia
money was, in, Federal money, 1888
The average rate of wages the land
over was, therefore, S6a " wear, with
food and, perhaps. lodging. Out OF
this small sum the workman must
with his wife's help, maintain his fam
ily.-McAIaster History.

see that it's soil and climate can be de-
pended upon more surely than those of
any other western state, 1t stands at
the front in its productions this year,

all kinds of vegetables ever known in
its history The last three years haye
proven it to be adapted in all respects
to cattle and sheep raising-in fact, it
is the best "all around" agricultural
country in America. The harvest is
here! The proof is at hand.

The number of cattle in this country
in proportion to population is decreas-
ing, contrary to the general idea.
twenty years ago the United States
had S25 head of cattle to each 1000 in

head. And yet it appears as if the past
twenty years cattle had increased more
rapidly than at any former period.

The members of this circle met Monday
evening at the residence of Mr.. r. II. Tur-
ner, corner of Deering and State streets. A
large number were present. The exercises
were interesting, consisting of piano solo
by Mrs. A. M. Smith; an essay by Miss
Flora Berry; trio by Mrs. Warren W. Cole
and Messrs. Cole and Houghton; fine pa
per ON "The Constellation" by Mrs. w. w.
Cole. AT this point Mr. N. w. Edison. in a
neat speech, presented DIR. j. w. Bashford.
In the name of the circle, with a fine etching
beautifully framed, of Grassmere Church,
the burial place of the poet Wordsworth.
Mrs Pashford was presented with a pair of
solid silver desert spoons, marked with an
old English 'B'' on the front. On the back
was the word Longfellow and the monogram
G. l.. S. G. The doctor responded for him
self and wife in his usual happy manner.
After short recess act fourth of the Mer-
chant Of Venice was finely rendered by
Messrs. Edison, Laughlin, Smith, Strout,
Cole, Mrs. BashfoId and Miss Annie Hough-
ton. This was followed by reading by
Mrs. Bagey of Mark Twain's Errors in Def
initions, which appeared in the last number
OF the Century. The exercises closed with
solo by Mr.. Henry Houghton. The exer-
cises were of high order. This closes DR..
Bashford's connection with the circle. Much
of its prosperity is due to him, and he leaves
with the best wishes and esteem of its mem
bers.
